Im am having my 2001 GSXR - 1000 painted and the guy wants me to take the pieces off the bike and bring them in. How do I take the gas tank off and or drain the gas?

Try removing the saddle. There is probably a bolt under the front of the saddle that holds the tank down, once removed the tank should slide backwards and can be lifted off, disconnect the fuel lines too. Drain the tank thought the fuel outlet, although you will not get all the fuel our, even on the 'reserve' setting. push a rag partially into the tank and shake it, this will mop up a lot of the residual fuel, use compressed air to evaporate the remainder. Beware or smokers or open flames, even some distance away under these circumstances.

Hey Kurama,
Has this bike been dropped on the shifter (left) side? I take that it won't shift up or down?...
... Do you mean check the shift shaft? (the shift fork(s) are inside the engine and cannot be checked without splitting the cases). the shift shaft may be bent...reply back..
Take the bike out for a ride and when this happens pull over and open up the gas cap. If it starts back up and keep on running then you have found the root cause - your gas tank's vent is clogged, you will need to have it cleaned out and serviced. Basically a clogged gas cap vent causes the bike to vapor lock and prevents fuel from flowing.
You should see your local Yamaha dealer and take the vin number of your bike with. They will give you the colour code for the bike provided it is original color. If not , then really you have the answer. Take a piece of the bike in that color to you paint shop and let them mix some for you.....
ur bikes wiring needs thuro inspection for cuts corrosion and bad connections--smoke probly commin from these issues and a clic can be a loose wire or failin starter
sounds like somthing is wrong with the throttle and its just a fluke with the gas. try removing the ground off the battery or postive which ever you can get off let bike sit for half an hour disconnectted reconnect and see if it still does this if it does bring it to a dealer as it should be covered under warrenty
Check the vent on the gas tank. Open the lid when it is hot and see if alot of pressure escapes, if so the furl tank vent is plugged and building up pressure to flood the engine.
Most sports bikes are limited to 300km/h by the manufacturers in an effort to be responsible.
Actually the ? was about the 1000 not "most sport bikes". The Suzuki gsxr1000 for 2007 is rev limited to 184 mph. U do the math to figure out kph but in the U.S. who cares about the metric numbers.
It sounds as if you are willing to do the right thing and get it coated or painted, right? What you need is not necessarily a clearcoat, but a better paint. Unless you use urethane paint, like they use on today's bikes, gas will dull or melt your tank paint. I'm not saying you can soak the think in gas, but you can spill fuel all over it, and just wipe it off without damage. Needs to be the top quality, urethane based auto paint. Costs more than the old DuPont Imron, but it's well worth it, looks great, and is gas-proof with or without the accompanying clear layer. I have restored many old bikes, and finally found out the hard way, not to scrimp on the tank paint! Good Luck. TT
